"This business cares. My wife and I hired Sustainergy to update the attic insulation and bathroom ventilation in our 1960's home. We were very impressed by the professionalism and energy that Lindsey showed at the initial site visit, as well as the timeliness, optimism, and tidiness of the crew that performed the work. The crew put down floor coverings on our hardwood and throughout their work areas, and did a great job of cleaning up each day. Sustainergy was very responsive to questions and was easy to schedule. Their business practice as an employee-owned cooperative also impressed me. I used to be a remodeling professional - everything Sustainergy did reminded me of best practices for customer service and good business operations. We won't hesitate to hire them for future updates to our home, and I'm pleased to recommend Sustainergy to anyone looking to increase the energy efficiency of their home."

"Went very smoothly. Everyone I was in contact with was professional. Reasonably priced. The service tech was also very respectful of me being immunocompromised regarding COVID-19, which I greatly appreciated. I plan to use them when it comes time for a tune-up."

"Our Home Warranty Company (Old Republic) sent Onesource to our home to fix an AC problem.   They were the 2nd company sent out, the first one charged me a 60 dollar service call fee and left in 10 minutes after saying he cleaned some dust out of the fly wheel.   Turned out, when Onesource came out our A-coil was frozen over and that is what was causing the vibration noise, not the "dusty" fly wheel.       Since we had paid the service call fee just a few days before, Old Republic paid for the Onesource call.   They're due to return in the spring to add R-22 to the unit because they found it was only low in pressure.    We'll let you know how that visit goes."

"Have used this company since 2004 for all HVAC needs. We had them install our new furnace and AC, and continue to use Comfort Solutions for two check-ups each year, one in the spring for the AC, and one in the fall to check the furnace and humidifier. The maintenance contract is a great deal, and includes a scheduling service, where the office calls to set up the appointments for the check-ups. Technicians are always punctual, and careful of my home and property (wear booties, lock up behind themselves after going outside to check the AC unit, and so on). We have not had to call for emergency service, but maintaining the service contract annually makes you a priority call if you do have a problem.

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

STC (Sound Transmission Class) is a rating that describes how well a building material or assembly blocks airborne sound. A higher STC rating means less noise will pass through the material, providing better sound reduction. This rating system applies to various building components, including windows, doors, flooring, drywall, and insulation.

For context, a typical single-pane window has an STC rating of around 25 (where normal conversations are audible), while a well-sealed, double-pane window can exceed STC 45 (blocking loud speech and most music). It is important to note that for some products, like soundproofing drywall, the STC rating refers to the entire wall system, not just the individual panel.

Additionally, STC ratings are most effective for measuring sound reduction at mid-to-high frequencies, such as human speech, and may not accurately reflect how well a material blocks low-frequency sounds like bass music or thunder. Because of these factors, it is recommended to consult a professional to determine the right STC-rated materials for your specific soundproofing needs.

There is no blanket figure for a residential home’s electrical load, since load varies by the size of the home, how many appliances are used, and the efficiency of their electrical systems. Typically, however, it’s safe to assume 40 to 60 amps is the average electrical load of a residential home. 

While many states require all new construction to undergo blower door tests, it’s not a requirement for existing homes. But in both cases, a blower test helps confirm that the contractor has sealed the exterior, that the type of ductwork installed is functioning properly, and that your home is as efficient as possible.

The three levels of home energy audits include:

  • Level 1: Review of your energy bills and home for signs of energy inefficiency and areas for improvement. The average cost range is $0.08 to $0.12 per square foot.

  • Level 2: A level 2 ASHRAE energy audit costs $0.12 and $0.35 per square foot. In-depth analysis of your energy usage and provides a report of cost-saving changes.

  • Level 3: Comprehensive analysis and detailed recommendations for ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency. A level 3 audit costs about $0.36 to $0.50 per square foot.

If your AC runs constantly, it could be due to a number of things, including a faulty thermostat, incorrect temperature settings, or broken equipment. Alternatively, you might have an airflow problem (for example, blocked vents or leaky ductwork). Either way, an HVAC pro can identify the specific problem and fix it for you.
